2009

It has been a year of so much to be put into words.
Without the presence of voice, I'll try me best to lay it down here and make it EVERLASTING.

The Greatest Story Ever Told

Once upon a time, there was a girl born unto the world by the love and commitment of two great individuals from very different worlds; the strong-determined lady and the playful-loving man. Even though it seems like clash of the titans, they were united hand in hand in marriage with a simple 'lafaz' of 'akad-nikah'. Witness by hundreds, they lead the life of hardship, tears, joy & laughter.

Not everyday is a joyride. And not every moment is pain and suffering.

With it came five beautiful, funny, loving, arrogant, sellfish, emotional, rooted, blunt, creative, dependent and independent children.

Yes, I am one of them.

My name is Nora Elina.

I can see clearly now how my parents and parents of others have sacrificed their lives, losing their own identities in order to feed their children, giving them happiness, tolerating their lashes and outbursts, heart-broken and still with each second passing; never giving up on them. Learning to hold their speech, to say only what is necessary, to provide best they can so their children could be happy, confident, healthy, strong and ready to face the world. Heart and Soul.

for whatever gender, race, nationality or religion.

Someone once told me, "my mom said children are like kites. Let them be free roaming the sky above, but never let go of the string. Every now and then when you see it starting to drift away, pull it gently back in place. It's a parents job never to let go yet to be careful not to yank it down."

...PERFECT.

what more could we ask? so THANK YOU, mak and abah.

Thank You Allah for your blessings.
Thank You to my brothers and sisters.
Thank You to my friends.
Thank You to the companies I've worked with.
Thank You to the media that showed me the world.
Thank You to the men and women in service industry.
Thank You to every single person that I've been honored to have met.
Thank You to every stranger that I have crossed path with.

THANK YOU EVERYONE for every single experiences that have made me who I am today.

Thank You for the past,
Thank You for the present,
and most of all.. Thank You for the future for whatever it maybe.

of course- with this, come also apologies.

I'm sorry when it was too difficult to accept.
I'm sorry when I have hurt.
I'm sorry for disappointing.
I'm sorry for my flaws.
I'm sorry whenever you felt unease because of me.

A new beginning. Refer to my post entry of 2008.
Look at the picture...

With all my heart and soul, I wish this could come true.

The gentle breeze of the ocean against my skin.
The soft tickling sand covering my feet.
The perky sting of the mighty sun.

How could it ever be complete without the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with.

my partner in crime, my savior of salvation, my pillow fight buddy, my car ride companion, my evil twin, my better half, my sweet symphony, the man in my every thought, the person who have tried so hard- who I have cruelly crushed a million times over, the one with the most beautiful and comfortable moobs, the one that carries baldness with so much style, the one who cooks legendary meals, the one with such unconditional passion for Porsche and everything that's in the now.

Yes, I am hopelessly romantic.
You are not my love.
But against all odds, we are truly meant to be.

So my Porschedelic Gemini.. Zulkarnain Zubir@Ajoi@Sayang.. would you like to have an expectation free day by the beach?
It would be ...nice.

Call me.

HAPPY 2010 EVERYONE!
Lets make it a year, FOR US!
